TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Jimbo Fisher was furious with one of his best players.

After a series of physical altercations, the last of which ended with Jameis Winston being knocked to the ground, Jalen Ramsey was kicked out of Sunday’s practice at Doak Campbell Stadium.

With fans in the stands to watch the open practice following Florida State’s annual Fan Day event, the head coach yelled at his talented defensive back as he headed to the locker room.

The sophomore and former Brentwood Academy star started all 14 games during the Seminoles’ national championship season and earned freshman All-America honors, is considered one of the top leaders on the team.

“It ain’t typical. It’s not what we’re going to do,” said Fisher, who was still noticeably upset when speaking of the incident following practice. “He was told not to do something and he defied me. So we’ll judge from there. And I’m very upset with him. It’s lack of leadership. It’s lack of character.

“He’ll decide if he wants to play at Florida State.”

Ramsey is not the first FSU player Fisher’s kicked out of practice for hard his on teammates, and he likely won’t be the last.
